Networking :: No access to the internet with the new computer :(
I'm a little bit disappointed, as my new computer ( ASUS Pundit P1-AH2 barebone system ) will not give me access to the internet.
I'm still using Damn Small Linux v 3.2 installed on my old memory stick ( usb-pen ). I didn't have problems with this on my older computers. It was always working and there are no changes on it as it is write protected.
Also I do not have any problems with this new computer to get access to the internet with the installed Vista 64 bit operating system.
Therefore I assume, that the onboard network device from this new computer isn't supported from DSL ?
The network device is: NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller VLAN 0011
What can be done? How can I get my memory stick working again with getting access to the internet automatically? Is it easy to install a driver for this network device if it isn't supported yet? Looking for further information on this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.driver = forcedepth Though maybe yours is a newer revision that isn't supported? Or maybe you need to load chipset drivers first (nforce2*?).
Could run `find /lib/modules | grep nforce`

Thanks for your quick response.
Unfortunately my knowledge with Linux ist too small in order to know how to proceed.
From the ASUS homepage, I found these further information: North Bridge: nVidia Crush 51PV South Bridge: nVidia MCP 51 LAN: 10/100/1000 Mbps
Don't know if these information will help? DSL reports that no network-card has been found, although there is an onboard network-card ( which works fine with Vista ).
Maybe it is easier to install an additional network-card to the computer than adding a supported driver?
And I thought that everything is so easy, as I had already 3 computers where their different network-cards have always been configured automatically with DSL.To load a module, use `sudo modprobe <module>` in a terminal/console/tty/command prompt. You can also run that find command there.
But I forgot to recommend a search first: see i.e. http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....16;st=5 Don't think anyone's backported/compiled it in 2.4.26 for DSL yet...Now I understand the problem. Thank you for this information.
So I am waiting now for a new DSL with a new kernel.
I have voted for: "Update DSL Kernel to 2.4.34"
Hope it won't take so much time. But at least I have hope now, that it will work with a newer kernel. Maybe I will try another distro with a newer kernel in the meantime.Next Page...
